Aileen is that perfect little rich girl. That's at least what everyone thinks. She started in Seattle, then Toronto, then back in Seattle again. Nothing has changed, right? That's what she thought but oh how she was wrong. By meeting o...
"I'm-" we both say at the same time. I can feel the corner of my lip going up a little and he just looks nervous. He tells me to start and so I do.
"I'm sorry Liam, for everything- " He cuts me off.
"You have nothing to be sorry for Ails.. uhm.. Aileen. Sorry.." He corrected himself. I wish he hadn't, but it's probably my own fault. I told him that he couldn't call me that anymore. Regrets, regrets and lots of regrets.
"Liam let me talk. Please? Just don't interrupt me"
He nods in answer and I can feel myself taking a deep breath before I continue.
"Look. It was wrong of me to eavesdrop on you and your doctor. I was just about to bring you a change of clothes but then I heard the word cancer and just froze. It was wrong and I really am sorry. And I also wanted to thank you. For what happened with Damon, you know? I kinda felt paralyzed; I felt like everything was being repeated. I couldn't move.. all I could see was.. my past being repeated.." I can feel the tears in my eyes. Seriously, why are my eyes betraying me like this? I try to wipe them off but before I even know, Liam wipes them off. His palm on my cheek feels good and I can't help it but rest my head on his palm.
"Hey. You don't have to continue. And I don't care about you knowing about my.. cancer. You were going to find out sooner or later, but you know... I'm just a mess. I don't know how to let people into my life. the only reason the whole squad knows about it is that they were with when I found out. But that's another story.."
He takes a deep breath and then continues.
"Look Aileen I'm sorry for everything too. I shouldn't have called you a golddigger. I just said some bullshit to hurt you. It's like a defense mechanism inside of me. It should have been me in this bed not you. I can't even... it's my fault and I'm sorry.."
He thinks it's his fault.. HAHA oh my gaud I'm so evil, but I can't help but chuckle. He looks over at me with confuse in his eyes.
"I'm sorry.. it's just.. Liam it's not your fault that I did what I did. I did it because.." I stop chuckling and put on a serious face.
Deep breath Aileen. In and out.
"I did it because.. my life is a mess Liam. I just couldn't take it anymore. I wanted the easy way out. I'm normally not a quitter and I regret it. But what happened, happened. And I'm really sorry for making you that it was your fault, but I can assure you that it WASN'T!"
I swear that I can see a little bit of relief in his eyes. The corner of his filled lips runs a little bit up in a smirk, which is now a little smile. I like seeing him smile, and the thought of him thinking that this was his fault really hurts me. It wasn't. yeah his words hurt, but I think that the slap I gave him hurt him too. Wow. I really am a bitch. Meeh.
"Thank you Aileen. I really hope you can forgive me though"
"Well if you forgive me for being a bitch then I'll just consider forgiving you"
We both chuckle before he responds with a smirk plastered on his face.
"Hmm.. deal!" we just sit here. Smiling and laughing a little. Seconds who feels like minutes gets interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Come in" I say, but suddenly I just stare. What is she doing here?
"Mia?" Liam says even more confused than me.
"Hey. I'm sorry for coming. I heard you were in the hospital so I thought that I would drop by and see how you are. Sorry if you want me to go then-"
I cut her off. Wow. She really cares about me. I can't understand how a smart, sweet and kind girl like her is a sister to such a scumbag called Andrew.
"Hey. It's fine. Thank you for coming Mia. I'm sorry for going all psycho mode on you the other day. I just had a lot going on"
"It's totally fine, really. I understand. And I had to come, you were my best friend after all"
We just stare at each other for a while, smiling. Then she speaks.
"I'm sorry but I have to go now. My boyfriend is waiting for me"
Boyfriend? Clearly Liam thinks the same as me.
"Boyfriend? But we literally kissed the other day? You didn't cheat did you?"
"Sorry Liam but I kinda used you to make him jealous... and it worked.."
I let out a little laugh.
"Typical you Mia. Always so good at seducing"
She rolls her eyes at me then laughs a little.
"Very funny A. But I actually really like him. Okay I really have to go now before he literally walks up here and carries me out"
All the three of us laughs but I stop her just before she leaves.
"Oh, Mia before you leave"
She looks confused when she looks in my way.
"Happy Birthday M!"
She sends me the sweetest smile on earth. Then says "Thank you A" and leaves.
She is nothing like her brother. In any way possible.
Then Liam breaks the silence.
"Seriously? She was using me? Rude much!" Liam says offended. I just sit there and laugh at him. I miss this. Just sitting here on a hospital bed and laughing with Liam. Okay maybe without the whole 'hospital bed' thing. I don't even know this boy that good, but he's good at hiding stuff. I didn't have a single clue that he has cancer. What else are you hiding Wesley?
